I can’t mail my photos from the Mac laptop to the world. They are sent out as .mime image, and can’t be opened unless you have a Mac.
I just tried opening one, and exporting it to the desktop, taking care to save it as a .jpeg file.
Didnt’ work. Any thoughts? I cannot believe I can’t send a photo to people…unless they’re Mac Heads.

Actually, if I remember correctly, a MIME extension is not a photo extension, it’s an e-mail extension. So just changing the extension won’t work.
Are you trying to mail your pictures using plain text mode? Try HTML mode.
Then again, I’m on a PC. Macs may vary.
What version of Mac OS are you running and what email app are you using?
You should be able to send and receive images to/from anyone, no matter what platform.
I was JUST talking to someone else who was having this same problem, not a half hour ago. By any chance, are the people you’re sending these files to on AOL? As I remember, the AOL software is notorious for not being able to handle MIME files, for some reason.

Anamorphic scores a hit. Both recipients who have commented on problems are AOL subscribers. I’m using Outlook Express for Mac.

Outlook?
I would have thought most Mac users would be using Mail by now…
MacMail ?? Whyever would I do that?
Outlook works just fine. Never drops an e-mail, always delivahs.
Awesome. And, I don’t have to become Cartooniverse@mac.net. :eek:
I forgot about this thread, so I’m only just seeing this now. It’s not too late to collect on that lens, is it? 
Yep. So sorry.

Not the .Mac webmail, the Mail program, a client like Outlook, which is included with OSX. It’s superb. Faboo filtering. And it’s from Apple. In other words, it’s not ported stuff from Microsoft that’s no longer being supported.
